So did I but it was boring in some sports and VERY grey.
I miss the G11. I don’t know how use the crossbow in BO1 compared to BO2.
I handled both crossbows very well. It was for me though more effective in BO1. BO2 took more skill despite havibg attachments now.
But in BO2 you could put sights on your Crossbow!
Blast radius is a tad smaller but yes sights do make a little difference. I use ACOG with it. Troll class is tri bolt and thermal. Throw out smoke for hilarity
I wish they’d stop fucking around and give us a legit 1-shot/damn near 1-shot cross bow.
The fall-off can be tuned for balance purposes or whatever, but the explosive novelty doesn’t seem as fun as a legit crossbow IMO.
I did use the hell out of it in BO1 and 2, and I loved how you could scavenge more bolts, even with the tri-bolt attachment.
That shit was broke if you were good, basically a restockable RPG with a more consistent trajectory.
crossbow is damn scary in the right hands. Still cannot believe I got all the challenges done for it.
Getting a golden Crossbow was a bitch
Xbox Ahoy finished up his Ghosts series today. It’ll be weird not seeing him cover Ghosts as much as BO2 but it’s cool.

Always thought about picking up Ghosts to kill some time but still looks bland to me. And to think I used to play FPS games all the time.
I’ve been on Squads until I level up enough to get the load out I want. It’s been fun, as I get to play game modes I normally wouldn’t, like Blitz and Domination. Also nice getting acquainted with the maps so I’m not lost and confused once I jump into TDM.
Letting people level and gain Xp via squads was a good move. I played a bit of Extinction, which reminds me of playing Zombies before Tryarch ruined it with BO2.
Awesome, extinction is like the only thing I really love about this game.
I like a lot of stuff in the game, but nothing is really notable besides Extinction.
Shit is fun with a good group.
New maps are fun and just what this game needed. COLORS.
So whats the newest COD called that ya’ll are playin’? I had not played in a while but Ive been playing MW2 the last few days.
Here is a couple videos of me playing that shit. I dont do very good but I had fun.

I traded my friend ghosts to blops 2 and have been going positive every time, but opened up the flood gates of cry baby hate mail. Besides that, the only thing I hate are team mates flash banging their own in hard core. Any tips on how to parry that shit with out getting kicked out?
For those who still play MW2 how many are playing at any given time? Granted I play Black Cops 2 at around 2am and there’s a mere 200-400 in ground war… Just enough to get in a few games
I think when I hit 10th prestige on CoD Ghosts I shall trade in my Xbox. The only thing keeping me playing it is my clan and Clan Wars.
F*** that shit. you stick to xbox or else … :@
